    Not quite. No presidential candidate got a majority of the popular vote. Trump got more of the popular vote than Kamala did. 49.80% and 48.33% respectively.

    Yes, I’m being pedantic. Does it really matter? No, probably not.

      The correct phrasing would be that he received a plurality of votes.

        Well yeah but basically every candidate gets more than one vote so getting a plurality doesn’t mean much
